Trackir guide for linux?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25 Dec 2024 - 4:33pm

Hi, is there any easy to follow guide to setup trackir with linux? I am pretty new to this head tracking stuff. When I search online I get all these terms like opentrack, aitrack, linuxtrack, wine freetrack etc which is making me pretty confused on what thing does what and which ones I need. Any easy to follow guide for a head tracking noob? I am on arch.

How to set up linux for gaming

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25 Dec 2024 - 3:25pm

Hey All,

I'm getting increasingly frustrated trying to game on Linux. Some games just work, and I've been happy: Elden Rings, 7 days to die, Hades 2 (took a bit of tinkering with proton). I am running Garuda, because I was told it comes with almost everything I'll need right out of the box.

I've had all sorts of problems (mainly with EA) with Mass Effect. I tried all the usual stuff, then installed lutris, to install EA because for some reason I was unable to install EA through Steam (like many people on Reddit were able to do) and then I found "gamemode" which was almost never referenced (and certainly not as something to be installed), but I learned I had to install that. And then I ran into the dreaded "cannot connect to port 3216". And then after multiple restarts, randomly picking proton compatability, just in various configs, it worked! And I was happy for a good month. Now I thought to install Dragon Age Inquisition, and not only am I running into a lot of the same problems I had with Mass Effect, Mass Effect is broken again...

TLDR, getting frustrated and considering switching back to windows. As much as I hate the OS, I haven't spent this much time trying to get things to work. So in a last ditch effort, I'm trying to find a guide of exactly how and what everyone installs on their machine. I'm looking for something like "install: Steam (comes with proton), install wine-tricks, install lutris, then install EA App through lutris" and hoping it's in order. While I understand that order of operations shouldn't matter... I've run across enough threads where they say "in that order" where I'm questioning my belief in that.

Thanks for any advice or guides. I'm mostly finding the "which distro to pick" and not the "set up your distro like this" despite half the threads having a comment "if you do enough setup, all distros are the same"

Single player shooter recomendations please?

Hey all, just finished Stalker 2 and I am back in a place of struggling not to setup a dual boot. Its like everytime I check protonDB i get dissapointed by some Ahole shoving a kernel level anticheat into a game i wanted to play. Todays heartbreaker was the Battlefield 1 Revolution Page. Im not opposed to multiplayer, but inprefer a good single player campaign. Couldnt get into RDR2. Loved Cyberpunk, Metro Exodus, Stalker 2, Titanfall 2, and Days Gone. Borderlands and Doon were ok, but I like stealth as an option, not a requirenment. Dont mind playing anything a few years older. Thanks and Merry Christmas. Maybe Santa will bring us a way to beat anti-cheat
